He&#39;ll need to match and or exceed his freshman year performance to have a shot at being a possible first round pick in 2012. </p>TheChampionUnderdog commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2013484c7622d970c2010-06-23T01:47:15Z2010-06-23T01:47:15ZTheChampionUnderdogim pretty sure aritficial noisemakers are banned by the sunbelt...<p>im pretty sure aritficial noisemakers are banned by the sunbelt...</p>FIU FPL commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f193df15970b2010-06-22T22:02:49Z2010-06-22T22:02:49ZFIU FPLI think the better question is who will have the best improvement.

<p>THere is no way Basketball can be the best in one year...but it maybe have a better turn around than baseball and football.</p>panther viscosity commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f1937115970b2010-06-22T21:26:44Z2010-06-22T21:26:44Zpanther viscosityvuvuzuelas sure are loud and annoying though.<p>vuvuzuelas sure are loud and annoying though.</p>Miri commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2013484bb574d970c2010-06-22T20:06:29Z2010-06-22T20:06:29ZMiriLets keep the vuvuzelas in soccer, thanks. ;)<p>Lets keep the vuvuzelas in soccer, thanks. ;)</p>chiaPanther commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2013484baed0c970c2010-06-22T18:52:33Z2010-06-22T18:52:33ZchiaPantherAdmittedly, I don't know much about our women's athletic programs.. and haven't seen a girls event since 2002... but, how...<p>Admittedly, I don&#39;t know much about our women&#39;s athletic programs.. and haven&#39;t seen a girls event since 2002... but, how do you replace a four year all american in Volleyball and the ace/sunbelt player of the year in Softball...?

Well, I voted...and it&#39;s interesting to see the opinions...42.6% on baseball, I&#39;m not sure about that....20.6 % on Football, depends if a 5-7 record (+- 1)is to be considered a best season. 33.8 % Basketball...<br />
Here are my two cents on baseball... in &#39;10, the team hit .337, 483 runs, 68 hrs...<br />
In &#39;09, the team hit .325, 475 runs, 82 hrs..<br />
the ERA&#39;s were Identical 5.72 and 5.74 respectively... so what was the difference, timely hitting and improved performance in the Sunbelt Tourney... other than that it was almost the same season... Here&#39;s my worry, the arms!!! We just lost one of our two best starters... and don&#39;t know about who&#39;ll be available next season...But I expect Mike Martinez to make the same improvements as Townsend did from &#39;08 to &#39;09, Tyler went from 14 HR to 24... Mike should go from 9 to 16 (he&#39;s got the frame and power)...So I think the offence should keep us at about 35-38 wins and another regional apperance....<br />
But, my money is on Isaih...Basketball will have the best season! An improvement to above .500 and a deep run into the Sunbelt Tourney...<br />
Football? I pray for 6-6 and a win over Maryland...Is that enough, not quite...And a big season from TY can mean early NFL Draft entry...Ouch!! </p>alt7787 commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f191fb77970b2010-06-22T16:59:16Z2010-06-22T16:59:16Zalt7787Pete, Not sure if this is relevant to what youre writing, but would it be possible to ask El Monstrou...<p>Pete,</p>
<p>Not sure if this is relevant to what youre writing, but would it be possible to ask El Monstrou what it was going from FIU to a team full of Miami Hurricanes (Ravens)? Did guys like Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Willis McGahee accept him with open arms or did he have to &quot;prove&quot; himself since he came from FIU? What were the opinions, if any, of FIU from those guys and other players around the league? </p>

Noisemakers should be banned by the NCAA so they probably wouldnt be allowed. They might interfere with headset communications and more importantly they are annoying as hell to the coaches and players. The Marlins game was a mess and as much as David Sampson says it was a great idea and they didnt affect the players, 11 walks in 4 innings says differently. Dan Uggla said those things were annoying and it was a bad idea. So lets all take Uggla&#39;s word.</p>Tri-Panther commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f191a2df970b2010-06-22T15:59:24Z2010-06-22T15:59:24ZTri-PantherJust say NO to vuvuzelas!!!!

I certainly hoped Perez-Lobo would show up and actually play for FIU. Apparently, Machado hasn&#39;t signed yet, but that was expected since Boras is his advisor, but of course he should sign. That means we have 7 signees/commitments already lost to the MLB draft!!</p>TheChampionUnderdog commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2013484b9cd02970c2010-06-22T15:31:09Z2010-06-22T15:31:09ZTheChampionUnderdogThanks for the updates pete!<p>Thanks for the updates pete!</p>maskaros commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f1916d5f970b2010-06-22T15:19:34Z2010-06-22T15:19:34ZmaskarosLovin' the idea CJ!<p>Lovin&#39; the idea CJ!</p>CJ commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2013484b9a234970c2010-06-22T14:55:31Z2010-06-22T14:55:31ZCJhey pete was wondering what would we have to do to get the FIU marketing dept. to hand out vovozela's...<p>hey pete was wondering what would we have to do to get the FIU marketing dept. to hand out vovozela&#39;s at the FIU rutgers game</p>pikedanny commented on 'Summer Kicks'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133f190e64a970b2010-06-22T13:20:42Z2010-06-22T13:20:42ZpikedannyDamn the recruits keep signing.
